An evening near Bata Chowk, Madhubani (Bihar).

I was amazed by the calmness of calves seating together at the trisection. The red flags, light from the high pole, motorcycle and the fruit vendors added magic to the sight. Further, the smoke coming from the road side food stall made the background look alive.

A fascinating fact is that although Bata is a Czech-founded company, it has become so integrated into Indian life that many people consider it an Indian brand. This is because it established one of its first major operations in India in 1932, which grew into a full-fledged township called Batanagar that housed generations of workers and their families. Even now in most major cities across in Bihar you can find Bata Chowk.

मशरूम के दिखने और गड़गड़ाहट (thunder) के बीच संबंध यह है कि मशरूम की कुछ प्रजातियां, जिन्हें "थंडरस्टॉर्म मशरूम" या "थंडर फंगी" के रूप में जाना जाता है, भारी बारिश या तूफान के बाद दिखाई देती हैं। ये मशरूम आमतौर पर तूफान के बाद हवा में बढ़ी हुई नमी और आर्द्रता से जुड़े होते हैं, जो उनके विकास के लिए अनुकूल परिस्थितियां बनाता है। कुछ लोग यह भी मानते हैं कि गड़गड़ाहट का आवेश (charge) कवक (Fungal) बीजाणुओं (spores) के अंकुरण (germination) को भी प्रेरित कर सकता है। हालाँकि, यह ध्यान रखना महत्वपूर्ण है कि सभी मशरूम तूफान के बाद दिखाई नहीं देते हैं, क्योंकि विभिन्न कारक उनके विकास में योगदान करते हैं, जैसे विशिष्ट पोषक तत्वों की उपस्थिति और उपयुक्त पर्यावरणीय परिस्थितियाँ।

The correlation between mushroom appearance and thunder is observed in certain species referred to as "thunderstorm mushrooms" or "thunder fungi." These mushrooms tend to emerge following heavy rains or thunderstorms due to the heightened moisture and humidity in the environment, creating favorable conditions for their growth. Additionally, there is a belief among some individuals that the electrical charge present during thunderstorms may contribute to the germination of fungal spores. It is crucial to acknowledge that not all mushrooms appear exclusively after thunderstorms, as other factors, including nutrient availability and environmental suitability, also play significant roles in their growth and development.

Picture by me :p Mist Burst

Hey, hello! A moment ago, I finished snacking on some Banyan figs.

Someone I have been constantly spending time with recently.

Freshly plucked!

The most prominent feature of this picture is.........several shades of green.

Even with human touch, the dominant color here is green.

Duckies and Duckies' mama!

Such a crisp image in even zoom mode
